an empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed northbound on the same track at 1 m/s. the faster train bumps into the slower one, and they combine into one train. what is the velocity of the two-car train? 1 m/s 3 m/s 3.5 m/s 5 m/s

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. the ring has radius a and positive charge qdistributed evenly along its circumference. a)what is the direction of the electric field at any point on the z axis? . b)what is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? use k in your answer, where k=14πϵ0. d)the ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=−d in simple harmonic motion. what will be the angular frequency ω of these oscillations? use the approximation d≪a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d2+a2≈a2. express your answer in terms of given charges, dimensions, and constants
